migration BE2010

Hello,

We are about to migrate a files server with BE2010 from a 2003 server x86 to a 2008 server R2 x64.

First,I want to install backup exec 2010 on the new server to prepare the migration.Is it possible ? Does it required another licence key?
Should I re-use the same installation CD or should I download a specific version with 64 bits?

Thank You.

    ok so I started all the BE services manually in the services.msc , I connect to BE successfully and It create the right server name in the backup exec service manager. Data have correctly moved.

    Now I have just to delete the Old server name entry  and add the new server in the publish tab of my remote BE clients.

    On the Login Screen , in front of the Server name : I can choose SRV_CD6 ( that I want) or SRV_CD4 ( the old one). If I choose one or the other, the backup Exec Service Manager show as status : SRV_CD4  - Started

     

    Maybe I can manually add  'SRV_CD6'  in the backupExec Service Manager ?

    ...you can choose the option to connect to another server. Do this and see if it works.

    To be honest, I am really not sure why you're having this issue. I used the TN you did before without incident.

    Maybe consider redoing it...follow the TN step-by-step.

    You're ok that normally, I should have in the backupExec Service Manager , the name of the new Server SRV_CD6  and not the Old one ?

    I think I will started all the BE services manually in the services.msc and try to connect.

    If you can't delete it, then it needs to be edited out of the BEDB...you will need a support call logged for this.

    Thanks!
